Why I Quit Paragliding after moving to Denmark

The way you sit says it all. 🫡

Consider flying microlight aircraft, I personally think is much safer and still gives you the chance to fly at reasonable cost

Do you consider powered paragliding safer or safe enough?

I flew my paraglider the last time in 2011, since then it sits in a corner. My kids got priority, and while I do have fond memories of my flights, I don't regret quitting. As you said, so many accidents happen, even to the most experienced pilots. I lost more than a few fellow pilots, most of them much more capable pilots than me. In the end, the risk is too big for me, too. There are other hobbies, other things to do, other places to experience. Thank you for your open words, and if it matters to you: I think you made a good decision!

I gave up too for being too risky, but i only had a couple of flights and not thermal ones. I had a couple of close calls and saw many people arround me getting injured or having close calls so I figured out it was just a matter of time until something bad happened.
Sometimes I consider coming back, taking a different approach, in order to make it safer, but i figure there are other things I could do instead to entertain me that are safer.

I can talk about me; I’m a paraglider pilot and paraomitir pilot; had an accident a few years ago and broke my back; nothing very serious, but with me kids growing, family, etc, I put It aside, for the mean time. I also have a PPL (a) licence but the fact that I live far away from an aerodrome it’s impractical for me.perhaps going for a micro light it’s the best option.

Becoming gay and lazy usually prevents you from having fun and eventually you end up with RC plane flying on this trajectory

Stay safe ........in your home, on your couch! I will be living.......each and every day!
